RNAscope® & BaseScope™ Assays : Visualize Gene Expression and Genetic Variations in Tissue - Applications in Oncology, Stem cells and Neuroscience
Visualize Gene Expression & Genetic Variations in Tissues. The seminar will give an overview on:

Detect mRNAs and lncRNAs at single molecule sensitivity by RNAscope® assay
Target specific splice junctions for aberrant alternative splicing in cancers
by BaseScopeTM assay
Characterize expression profiles of various checkpoint markers and therapeutic targets
in the tumor microenvironment (TME)
Detection, characterization, and (co-)localization of mRNAs in the central and peripheral
nervous system:
o Co-expression with specific cell type markers
o Sub-cellular localization of mRNA expression in cell body, axons or dendrites
Distinguish specific homologues, paralogues, and orthologues by RNAscope® assay or BaseScopeTM assay
Perform single cell analysis with morphological information in FFPE or frozen tissue
Pinpoint expression of novel RNAs of interest
